Testing of food samples by West Bengal Public Health Laboratory (Pastur) has been started in Kolkata district. Direct fund transfer to the A/cs of Cook–cum–Helpers through Blocks has been started.
MDM, WEST BENGAL Baseline Survey on Nutritional Assessment by NNMB (National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau West Bengal Unit) has been done. Kitchen gardens are being developed in schools where space is available. At present 1594 no. of Kitchen gardens have been developed at school level. It has been decided to engage one Monitoring Institute in each district so that the monitoring mechanism becomes vibrant. Use of AGMARK packaged oil & iodized salt in preparation of Mid-Day- Meals are maintained.
MDM, WEST BENGAL A residential training of Cook Cum Helpers has been done at IHM, Taratala. Recently Hooghly District has completed training of 2700 Cook cum- helpers and 1000 teachers involved in CMDMP. Arrangement of Hand washing before and after meal has been made in each and every school. State Government has allowed Rs. 500/- as additional honorarium per month per Cook cum helper since October, Posts of MIS-coordinators dedicated for MDM at State Head Quarters and District Levels have been created and fund for the same is provided from the State Government Budget. Cook cum-helpers have bank A/Cs.
DIs / ADIs / AIs / SIs and Headmaster/ Headmistress of different Govt. schools have taken training on MDM implementation at ATI, Kolkata. Emergency telephone numbers have been painted on the walls of the schools - JRM Involvement of teachers in schools has helped taking MDM by the students in an orderly manner – JRM Monitoring system at the State level, is overall good. Involvement of BDO for maintaining rice quality is no doubt praiseworthy – JRM Block is transferring money directly to the account of SHG, thereby reducing the time gap of fund flow – JRM Supply of disposable plates to the students by the schools for taking MDM during examination days - JRM
MDM, WEST BENGAL Repairing cost for kitchen sheds may be allowed. Fund for transporting meals from cluster kitchens to the school premises may by allowed. Rs 5000 for kitchen devices is inadequate for schools with higher enrolment. Kitchen sheds constructed with the ceiling of Rs. 60,000/- per unit cost do not have store room. Fund for construction of dining halls may be considered for allotment. Initial installation charge for LPG connection need to be considered. Most of the Upper Primary schools have students from class V-X or XII, but MDM is allowed only for students in class V–VIII. So serving of MDM is a problem.
MDM, WEST BENGAL Quality of rice is good in all schools. Safe keeping of rice bags is satisfactory with little variation in small number of schools. Availability of cooking cost at school level is regular with minor exception. Most of the schools have Pucca Kitchen –cum store. Payment of Honorarium to Cook-cum helper is delayed in few cases but it has improved compared to earlier times. Availability of Potable water is noticed in many schools. Service of MDM to the students in schools is regular. Monitoring of MDMS should be strengthened. Community participation in performance of MDMS is not up to the mark. Poor performance of school health Programme.
